You have to show up every day when success isn't guaranteed. If you put in enough days, eventually you'll get there. How many days do you think you've been working on your podcast?

There has been some debate in this community about lead magnets and their utility. Well, I’ve been running a test in the background. Last week, I posted this podcast release form to Ko-fi and linked it to a relevant Reddit thread. I set the price to pay what you want with a minimum of $0. Of course, no one paid for it. But it seems they were so happy about getting it for free that they were less reluctant to give me their email addresses. Each one of them gave their email address and I just followed up with this email. What do you think? Will it convert?

Hi Everyone, Does anyone need helping putting together a lead magnet for their audience? Or, if you want an ebook I have some cool software and am volunteering my services for free to assist you? A podcast lead magnet is a free gift created for listeners—such as a checklist, guide, worksheet, resource list, or mini training—that connects to the podcast topic and gives the listener a quick win. It helps turn casual listeners into engaged subscribers, email contacts, or future customers. Why it matters: • it extends the episode’s value • it builds trust with listeners • it grows an email list • it gives listeners a next step after the episode Examples: • episode companion guide • checklist • journal prompts • action plan • resource sheet • mini workbook • free audio meditation • listener bonus PDF

Over the last few months, I've put into practice a strategy to earn some extra money sharing viral short videos. I want to share my expertise while still having this space be primarily about podcasting. So, I've decided to start a new Skool community that teaches how to Make Money with Viral Shorts. It is now free to join. I'm also offering a $100 Amazon gift card to one lucky new member. Join today and start earning money online!
